For their second goal I think he was shouting "Rio, Rio, Rio" and the CBs decided not to bother..Btw Burnett was shouting instructions and coaching them non-stop all game on where to stand and organising everyone, can't be easy with a backline consisting on mostly players that will be released. Must've said Pele's name about 200 times!
Let's hope Lankshear and Dorrington have clubs lined up to move to soon.
If Ange wouldn’t play Will and Dorrington against LITERAL plumbers and farmers today - I doubt Ange gives them game time in the EL - So I think we should get them out on loan as soon as possible for first team minutes in L1 or the Championship.I think both stay until 31 Jan - both are classed as List B players and might be needed to play in the 2 EL matches at end of January, although if Richarlison and at least one of Romero and Van de Ven are back from injury and looking good they might not play those 2 EL games (as Lankshear missed out against Alkmaar to accommodate Richarlison's return ... and re-injury).
Lankshear on loan might also depend on us bring in another forward given Werner's performance today and Odobert's return looking like another month away might leave us 'thin' with just :
1 Solanke,
2 Johnson,
3 Son only able to play half the games,
4 Richarlison whose form may be difficult to predict
and Mikey Moore who is unlikely to play in more than half the games left, and an unknown Yang. So potentially very short .... and if any of the forwards get injured ......
Huge gamble to loan Lankshear out imo - but Ange needs to guarantee he's going to play Will, otherwise Will neds to go out on loan for his own sake. And Will needs to stay at Spurs to complete 3 full seasons to become Club trained... Dorrington's loan not dependent on either of those type of issues.

Will has had 2 short sub appearances I think - a matter of minutesThink they need to go out and get minutes as Will hasn't kicked a ball since the EL game has?
